my fav oil additive is slick 50... watch a duffus change oil with fram filter on fri.... sell him new engine on monday...  ;D

crap pluggs up fram filters and lets them throw rods...  :o

seen it more then 1 time...


now really... good additive..  justice brothers jb for short, engine treatment..

makes vw hydro lifters quiet, does not stop working when gas added to oil.. and slows wear.. seen it tested via the grinder wheel/bearing load test trick thinggy.. also gotta see how competing products failed on this same test.. expecially when drop of gas added..

My first VW diesel, a 1980 Rabbit pickup with a/c and cap got 50,000 (bought with 103k on the inaccurate odometer) miles in 8 months before a Sears oil filter did it in. Added 5 quarts, new oil and filter and let it idle for 45 minutes. Thought I lucked out. Drove about a 1/2 mile and it sounded like marbles were poured in with the oil. Found a junkyard engine which lasted 1/2 way into Jersey, car crapped out in Staten Island and left in a junkyard.

Easy, this was 1990, way before the internet and you guys (not that I could fix it anyway...). But I LOVED that truck. My best was 48 mpg doing 70-75 on the interstate. And tha A/C was ICE cold..

Can't fix 'em, but got hooked... :)
